Tunis Public Heat-Refuge Hall
A hot-climate civic study for shade, thermal mass, ventilation, and dignified public access.
Create a photorealistic public heat-refuge hall in a dense Tunis neighborhood. Organize a single-storey civic room around a shaded court with a limestone base, lime-plastered thermal-mass walls, a concrete roof frame, perforated terracotta screens, high vents, drinking-water points, and a deep entrance arcade. Use dry bright midday conditions while preserving dense cool shade and neutral material color. Frame a 40mm view from beneath the arcade toward the court and main room. Keep every visible circulation route, threshold, terrace, and room unoccupied so structure, envelope depth, and material transitions remain the sole subject. Keep airflow paths, accessible thresholds, roof drainage, fixtures, and maintenance believable. Avoid exotic ornament, resort styling, dramatic sunbeams, branded equipment, and symbolic greenery.
